‘“Tell the fans that I was sincere when I said I wanted to stay in Buffalo,” Briere told The News. “That was my priority when the season was over, but at the same time, with any job or anything you do in life, with any employer, you want to feel wanted. What I feel bad about is losing my teammates, losing my coaching staff, and I feel bad being on another team now after spending some great years playing for those fans in Buffalo.”’
